| Abstract:
In the proposed roundtable an evaluation faculty member (mentor) and three of her former students who earned their Ph.D.’s under her direction (mentees) will lead a discussion on the importance of mentorship in graduate school. Both the mentor and the mentees will offer suggestions to the audience on how to form and maintain a good mentor/mentee relationship as well as discuss the benefits and possible pitfalls of this relationship. We will also engage the audience in an active discussion about what works/doesn’t work for them when it comes to mentoring/being mentored. Lastly, we will work together to come up with strategies to have a successful relationship with our mentor/mentee.
